      Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. PS
My concerns have now been addressed by Vince D'Arcy in a courtious and helpful manner. Thank you Vince for addressing and resolving all issues.

Agnieshka Kiera

I am disappointed with services of Chris Peacock as a lawyer. He prepared my simple will, charged over $500 and made a lot of critical mistakes in spelling my name even though I provided the relevant ID documents. I asked him and his secretary to fix it, to which they responded that I would have to pay $100 extra for it!!! Paying for fixing their own mistakes??? I said no, yet I am now left with the faulty will or a prospect to pay somebody else to fix their errors. Or find another competent lawyer to re-write the will.
So if you want to spare a similar experience, make sure you DON'T pay Chris Peacock, until you are satisfied, you've got what you wanted and what they charge for.
